Even if you weren't a Girl Scout growing up, you very likely noshed happily on the goodies from their annual cookie drive. Now, between the palm oil controversy and a desire for cookies catering to alternative diets, the need for vegan Girl Scout cookies was clear. We happily tried out and slightly adapted a vegan Tagalong recipe from the Shannons, vegan bloggers and animal activists. The results were super-yummy, so you're definitely going to want to try this! It's been a few decades since I ate an actual Tagalong, but I'll say this: the vegan version is delicious and irresistible! Read on for a homemade version of a favorite Girl Scout cookie treat.
1. Gather ingredients for vegan Tagalong Girl Scout Cookies.
As always, please use organic ingredients whenever possible.
Cookie Base:
- 1 cup vegan margarine
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/4 tsp almond meal (or ground flaxseed)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp applesauce
- 2 Tbsp almond milk or soymilk, regular or vanilla
Peanut Butter Filling
- 3/4 cup to 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (preferably unsalted)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1-2 tsp soy or almond milk, or as needed
Chocolate Coating:
- 1 10-oz bag of vegan chocolate chips
- 1-2 Tbsp non-dairy milk (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line one to two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silpats and set aside.
2. Prepare the dough.
In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar. You can use a fork (and some elbow grease), but I recommend an electric handheld mixer. Add flours, almond meal, vanilla, salt, applesauce, and soy or almond milk. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
3. Roll and slice the cookies.
Gather the dough and roll into a long uniform tube. I found it helpful after the initial rolling to place the dough on a sheet of plastic wrap and wrap it up loosely. This allowed me to continue to roll it into a tube shape. The Shannons also suggest using a cookie press without a form. Slice the tube into 1/4 inch "coins" (removing the plastic wrap beforehand, if using). You should get between 18-24 cookies. Place on the prepared baking sheet. If the dough comes apart at all while slicing, just mush the pieces back together on the cookie sheet – they will cook together fine. Cook for 8-10 minutes, until the edges and underside are beginning to turn golden-brown (The Shannons suggest 6-8 minutes, so start checking around then). Remove cookies from oven and let cool.
4. Make the peanut butter filling.
In a large bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, peanut butter, and salt with the electric mixer. Depending on how oily your peanut butter is, you may need to gradually add some soy or almond milk (a few teaspoons should do the trick) to get the desired consistency, which is not too creamy, but not crumbly. Gather small balls of the mixture with your hand and press gently into the top of the cooled cookie, spreading to cover the whole cookie top.
5. Get messy with the chocolate coating!
For the chocolate coating, melt chocolate chips in a small saucepan, stirring often to keep the chips from burning. Once chocolate is fully melted, remove the pan from the heat. Carefully drop cookies into the pan one at a time, using a spoon to pour chocolate over the top and coat evenly. This makes for a delicious, but very thick covering of chocolate. To achieve a thinner coat (and to make a little chocolate go much farther), mix in a few Tbsp of non-dairy milk into the melted chocolate before placing the cookies in the pan. Either way, gently tip the cookies from side to side to get rid of excess chocolate.
6. Finish and chill the cookies.
Place dipped cookies on a parchment-lined or silpat-lined cookie sheet. Chill cookies in the refrigerator for 2 hours or until chocolate is dry. Enjoy your vegan Tagalongs!

Researchers from the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, the Natural History Museum, London, Nature Heritage, Jersey, and Conservation International have discovered and identified a new species called Durrell's vontsira.
The small, mongoose-like carnivore from Madagascar was first spotted swimming in the Lac Alaotra marshes by Durrell scientists in 2004. After examining the new find and comparing blood and tissue samples to that of its closest relative, the brown-tailed vontsira, Natural History Museum zoologists noted differences in skull, teeth, and paws. Durrell's vontsira is specially adapted to an aquatic lifestyle. As the newly discovered vontsira species only inhabits Lac Alaotra, it is especially important to protect those wetlands, which are currently threatened by silting and pollution.

Torchlight Energy Announces Agreement on Acreage in Finney County, KS
Program Will Target the Mississippian Lime Trend
Jan 03, 2013, 09:15 EST
HOUSTON, Jan. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Torchlight Energy Resources, Inc. (OTCBB:TRCH), an independent oil and gas company headquartered in Houston Texas is pleased to announce that the company has signed an agreement with Redhawk Resources on its 15,000 gross acres in Finney County, Kansas.
The transaction is the result of an Option Agreement signed between Redhawk and Terrace US Holdings, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of Terrace Energy Corp.). When closed, the transaction will result in Torchlight receiving a 9% WI in the acreage and a small overriding royalty interest (ORRI). Torchlight will be carried through the tanks on a minimum of three horizontal Mississippian obligation wells, with the possibility of several more carried wells upon results of the test program. The acreage lies in the immediate vicinity of acreage leased and in the process of being developed by some well-known oil and gas companies including Sandridge Energy and Encana Corporation. The transaction is expected to close in late Q1 or early Q2 2013 and initial development of the field occurring shortly thereafter sometime in late Q2 or early Q3 2013.
The Mississippi Lime trend is a well-known conventional tight limestone formation that is currently producing from over 15,000 vertical wells on over approximately 17 million acres. With the emergence of horizontal drilling technology, the area has undergone a revival and is the focus of significant leasing activity by many oil and gas companies. Two successful Mississippian Lime wells were recently announced on neighboring acreage in Western Finney County.
Management Comments
Torchlight's President, John Brda said, "This is an exciting opportunity for Torchlight to get involved in one of the most prolific oil plays going right now. The working interest should provide Torchlight with cash flow sometime in early Q3 of 2013. In addition, because our interest is carried for at least three wells and possibly as many as six or seven wells, by the time we are responsible for our own working interest contribution, we will be doing so out of cash flow. By size of acreage and opportunity for Torchlight, this is the single largest deal in our short history and when fully developed, provides Torchlight with significant upside and cash flow."
You can view more information on the company's website at www.torchlightenergy.com.
Torchlight Energy Resources, Inc, headquartered in Houston, TX, is positioned as an oil and gas company with a primary focus on oil. Torchlight will focus on highly probable and profitable drilling and working interest programs that have a short payback period, high IRR and proven reserves and are located in domestic, onshore fields.
With a proven management team and tremendous access to pre-market deal flow, the Company is positioned for tremendous near-term growth for our shareholders. Torchlight will identify drilling opportunities with a high probability of success, purchase working interest ownership in proven field development programs, spread the risk associated with drilling programs by entering into a variety of programs in different fields with differing economics but all with reputable operators and hedging production when possible for predictable cash flows.

Discover the Beat Generation in San Francisco
In the 1950s, San Francisco's North Beach became home to a colorful array of writers, artists, and other free thinkers who championed free expression and pioneered a fresh outlook on American life in the postwar years. Encompassing such writers as Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, Diane di Prima, Gregory Corso, ruth weiss, Bob Kaufman, Michael McClure, Gary Snyder, Philip Lamantia, Anne Waldman, Philip Whalen, Joyce Johnson, Jack Micheline, Lew Welch, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Kenneth Rexroth, and a host of others, the San Francisco Renaissance had a profound impact on American culture, and influenced counterculture movements including the hippies, punk rock, and beyond, and spread throughout the world.
The Beat Museum tells the story of the Beat Generation, and contains rare and important books, paintings, photography, personal effects that belonged to its central figures, and more. Our purpose is to celebrate this important part of our history and culture, and to further the values of the Beat Generation—tolerance, inclusiveness, and the importance of living authentically.

For that, the Bears' coach is grateful.
There probably won't be much reminiscing when Chicago takes on New Orleans at Soldier Field this week, but Trestman did take some time to reflect on Thursday.
"No. 1, it was more about a friendship between Sean and myself," he said.
Trestman had just been fired after a two-year run as offensive coordinator at North Carolina State and was on a sort of sabbatical when he was hired as a consultant to Payton, the Saints' coach, for the 2007 season.
They weren't close friends at the time, but they knew each other from symposiums, back when Payton was an assistant in the league. They had attended symposiums and talked football over lunch a few times.
For Trestman, the consulting job was "an opportunity to have some dignity in my career."
Five years as the head coach of the Montreal Alouettes and two CFL championships later, Trestman is leading an NFL team for the first time. And he's off to a good start with the Bears at 3-1.
Chicago is trying to pick itself up after losing to Detroit and knock the Saints (4-0) from the ranks of the unbeaten.
The Bears are tied with the Lions for the NFC North lead. Their offense appears to be a better fit for the personnel, even if things have been a bit shaky at times, and it looks as if Trestman has connected with quarterback Jay Cutler.
That's something previous offensive coordinators Ron Turner, Mike Martz and Mike Tice could not do. And it's a big reason why he is getting this opportunity, even though he seemed to vanish from the NFL radar.
Trestman spent several decades coaching at the college and NFL levels under men such as Bud Grant, Howard Schnellenberger and Bill Walsh.
He developed a reputation as a quarterback guru for his work with Bernie Kosar, Rich Gannon and Steve Young, but by the time he took the job with New Orleans, he was in a sort of limbo.
"I had just been let go at N.C. State, I wasn't doing anything, I was sitting the year out, I had two years left on a contract," Trestman said.
"He invited me down and really showed professional respect. ... It was a great learning time for me and it was also a good time to watch Sean be a head coach and see how he worked on a daily basis and see how he handled the success and the adversity."
Payton called Trestman "a proven winner." But he was also a big question mark.
There was a knock that Trestman didn't relate well, didn't get along with other assistants, and that explains why he's a first-time head coach in the NFL at age 57. He seems to be relating just fine now.
Defensive coordinator Mel Tucker was quickly sold. The two had never worked together. But when he interviewed with Trestman in January, Tucker realized how alike they were.
"We have very similar trains of thought about the game, how to treat people, what coaching is all about, how to develop football teams and players, what is coaching and things like that," Tucker said.
A law school graduate with dark-rimmed glasses, Trestman looks and sounds more like an attorney or corporate CEO than most guys carrying a whistle and a clipboard.
His answers are thoughtful and detailed. And there's a quirkiness to him. Trestman probably was the first coach to address the physics subject of "string theory and different dimensions" with Cutler.
"I'm kind of reading a book right now," the quarterback said. "I don't even know what half the words are in the book, though. We just kind of kick it around."
Cutler wasn't sure of the book's title. And he couldn't really explain the theory, which has to do with the idea that extra dimensions exist.
It's just one example of Trestman connecting with a player, one of his most important players.
Backup quarterback Josh McCown mentions the lunch room. There's Trestman pushing in his chair and cleaning up his area and encouraging the players to do the same.
He just wants players to be aware.
"He just makes a point to say that's a way that you can serve the people around you," McCown said. "It's just a good example of the little things that you can do that maybe helps out somebody that's working back there in the kitchen, that doesn't have time to wipe up after you. The cool thing is there's never anything that's mandated. It's 'hey guys, think about doing it this way; think about doing it that way.'"

Which Hunter Pence is at the Negotiating Table?
This winter, Hunter Pence heads to his second salary arbitration hearing, in his third year of eligibility. 2011 was, indisputably, the most successful season of his young career. He produced a .314/.370/.502 line, including a particularly impressive .324/.394/.560 run in 236 plate appearances following his trade to the Phillies. He set career highs in OBP, OPS+, rWAR, and fWAR. Not surprisingly, Pence could net a fair purse for 2012. Matt Swartz, via his salary arbitration model, projects the value of his case to be around $11 million. Under Amaro, the Phillies are typically loathe to leave a player's salary up to an arbitration panel, so they may try to reach a deal with him in advance of the deadline for exchanging salary submissions later today. Either way, the proceedings hinge on the Phillies knowing just how valuable a player Hunter Pence really is, and the gulf between his 2011 season and those that came before it introduces substantial doubt to that determination.
Prior to 2011, Pence had a career 115 OPS+ on his resume, and was just shy of being a 2 win player (rWAR) in the average season. His offensive numbers were respectable, but not those of a top-flight MLB corner outfielder. From 2007-2010, 17 other leftfielders and rightfielders accrued at least 1500 plate appearances and posted a better OPS+ than Pence, and they are some of the names more closely associated with the offense-first character of the position — Manny Ramirez, Ryan Braun, Jayson Werth, Matt Holliday, Andre Ethier, etc. Pence's bat was above average at a position which is usually home to excellent or even elite ones.
Still, he developed a reputation that somewhat overstated his abilities. This was due in part to playing for a Houston Astros team that was perennially short on talent; Craig Biggio retired after playing alongside Pence for one season in 2007, and after that, Hunter, Lance Berkman, and a declining Carlos Lee were the lone bright spots on a team that never climbed higher than third in the NL Central. Phillies fans in particular were made to watch Pence post a .330/.382/.681 line against their team's pitching from 2007-2010. His schizophrenic, penguin-out-of-water, proprioceptively-impaired style of play garnered additional attention and (understandably) clouded attempts at level-headed evaluations of his talent (during a rough stretch for Pence in 2010, Eric Seidman quipped, "I'd say he isn't seeing the ball well, but he never closes his eyes so I don't see how that would be possible").
2011 was a different story entirely. His .378 wOBA last season put him on the same offensive tier as Mike Stanton, Robinson Cano, and Dustin Pedroia. As the five win player that Pence was in 2011 (rWAR), he would be more than worth the money he is poised to make, either by arbitration or extension. The temptation with any sudden surge or depression in hitter production is to search for signs that it could be a passing fluke. In Pence's case, his BABIP jumps off the (web)page. In both 2011 and his rookie season, which was his second most successful season by OPS+, his BABIP reached levels which are hard to imagine any hitter sustaining — .361 and .377 respectively. Only three hitters in history have logged a BABIP above .360 for their career (minimum 2000 plate appearances): Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby, and Shoeless Joe Jackson — none of whom, I think we can agree, are suitable comparisons for Pence. In the last decade, the BABIP leader with that minimum is Shin-Soo Choo, who tops out at .353.
Pence's BABIP wasn't the only difference, though. His line drive rate spiked in 2011, reaching 17.9%, the highest since his rookie year mark (19.4%). This, along with the corresponding decline in ground ball and fly ball rates, works favorably towards his BABIP. If he is consistently hitting the ball harder, he'll obviously have more success on balls in play going forward. But "consistently" is the key there. According to research by Derek Carty, a hitter's line drive rate stabilizes when the sum of his infield flies, outfield flies, ground balls, and line drives reaches 795 (using MLB Advanced Media, which was not the source of my earlier figures but which shows the same spike for Pence). For Pence, that sum was just 487. And even if we had evidence that Pence had reliably boosted his line drive ability, his 2011 rate still doesn't support the .361 BABIP. Per Fangraphs' xBABIP estimator, his batted ball profile in 2011 portends just a .319 BABIP, which also happens to be his career expected BABIP using that same formula. That's a 42 point difference, which means about 20 less hits, reducing his 2011 batting average to .281 and his on base percentage to .340, and that's discounting the peripheral effects that reduced contact success might have on his walk and extra base hit rates.
The bulk of Pence's batted ball fortune in 2011 appears to have come on ground balls. His BABIP on grounders was .329 in 2011; the league average was .237. Looking at the distribution of his ground ball hits, it's easy to pick out a few that were luck-of-the-draw:
Then again, Pence has always outpaced the league in ground ball success, maybe owing to his speed. Even removing 2011, his career BABIP on grounders is .296.
There is plenty more at stake in the evaluation than just one arbitration hearing. Three of the prospects surrendered by the Phillies to acquire Pence immediately became top 10 prospects in the Astros system — Jonathan Singleton and Jarred Cosart at 1 and 2 respectively, and Domingo Santana at 6, by Baseball America's reckoning. Granted, the Astros farm system was essentially a wasteland prior to the trade, but Cosart and Singleton would rank well in any system, and it says a lot about the trade that the player-to-be-named turned out to Santana, a formidable well of potential in his own right. The Phillies may not have had a clear spot for Singleton in the big leagues, as he now does with Houston moving to the AL and adding a DH slot to their lineup. They also may not have had much need for Cosart, with Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee locked up for several more years, and Cole Hamels presumably on his way to an extension. It may also be true that, as fresh entrants into the heavyweight class of payroll spenders, the Phillies can afford to exchange prospects in favor of established, more expensive big league talent. But if the true Hunter Pence is closer in ability to his 2007-2010 self, and not his 2011 self, then the Phillies acquired an above-average corner outfielder for a premium package of talent that they were well positioned to sit on until the ideal target came along.
Dan Szymborski's ZiPS projections, likely drawing on the BABIP concerns already mentioned, forecast a .281/.334/.450 batting line for Pence, amounting to a 108 OPS+. That's not a bad season by any means, but it's not far off from, say, Carlos Ruiz's 2011, or Ben Francisco's 2010. It's certainly not the sort of elite bat you can use to maximize the value from a corner outfield position. If that's the sort of player Pence is going to be, they'll need offensive surplus from positions where it's harder to find. They used to have that built-in, season after season, in the form of Chase Utley, but his health leaves that to question now. They may have it from Shane Victorino if he builds on his immensely successful 2011, or from Carlos Ruiz, or from Jimmy Rollins if he can spark a rare late-career surge. Suffice it to say, there are no standout candidates. More importantly, if Pence's value will reflect something in the neighborhood of that ZiPS projection going forward, the Phillies will have to hope that the package they surrendered manifests more of its risk than its potential, and they'll have to exercise restraint with negotiating the salary of a new fan favorite and bona fide good guy.

Knicks working to buy out World Peace, Udrih
Knicks working to buy out World Peace, Udrih
Feb. 23, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Knicks are preparing to buy out the contracts of veterans Metta World Peace and Beno Udrih.
Neither player was available Saturday for the Knicks' 107-98 loss in Atlanta.
"We're going in a different direction and we've got to figure out another spot or two for our ballclub," coach Mike Woodson said before the game.
World Peace wrote on his Twitter account earlier Saturday that his agent was working on a buyout and thanked fans and the city.
Neither veteran has earned a place in Woodson's rotation in his first season in New York. Udrih has appeared in just 31 games, while World Peace, who had a procedure on his knee in January, has played in just 29.
"I can't say anything went wrong," Woodson said. "Again, they weren't in the rotations. I'm not going to linger on it. I mean, we're buying them out. As a coach, guys work for me, I wish them nothing but the best as they move on and we're going to move on. So that's about the extent of it."
Players have to be waived by March 1 if they hope to sign with another team and be eligible for the playoffs.
World Peace is a New York native who played at St. John's, and had long hoped for a homecoming. It didn't turn out to be a happy one with the Knicks, as his 7 minutes of playing time Friday in a double-overtime loss at Orlando was only the sixth game he'd gotten into in 2014.
All-Star Carmelo Anthony said he was surprised because World Peace seemed to be in good spirits a day earlier.
"He was happy, He played," Anthony said. "On the bench, in the locker room, he was a different Metta. Maybe because he had the chance to get out there and play a little bit. But I wake up this morning and hear that he wanted a buyout, it took me by surprise."
Udrih hasn't played since Jan. 24. There was speculation the point guard would be traded before Thursday's trade deadline.
"It's sad to see them go. But look, this is the business of basketball, man," Anthony said. "For whatever reason, I don't know what's the reason that they wanted to get bought out. But it happened and we've got to move on from there."
AP freelance writer Amy Jinkner-Lloyd in Atlanta contributed to this report.

Most people are of the idea that High class is expensive. As for the escort industry, it doesn't work out that way. Getting a High class escort girl doesn't mean that you get poor service. On the contrary, you will get as much as that of the highly paid escort services. This is good news for people with limited funds. Money is no longer a limitation when it comes to hiring escort services. With as low as £200, you will have an escort attend to you fully.
This is especially ideal for those who wish to have a one-night stand. You pay a few coins and you will have a no-strings attached affair for one night. You no longer have to worry about where to host the escort girl. There are in call escorts London that satisfy you at the comfort of their homes. All you have to do is find your way to the escort's house and you will be in for some mind-blowing fun for men who use high class London escorts , don't feel disadvantaged. This is especially since paying more doesn't mean you get more. The escorts in London are the same and they undergo similar training. This therefore means all of them have close to same way of satisfying men. The High class escorts are also professional. Just like their costlier counterparts, they do everything in a proficient way.
How to Find High class London escorts?
There are many web portal offering escorts London services in the capital . All you have to do is conduct an online search on www.yourescortagency.co.uk and check on the prices of London escort. As soon as you have found the escort service provider of choice, choose a suitable escort girl London. Once you make a wise choice, you can make payment and wait. If it's an out call service the girl will meet you at the specified place. If in call, you will go over to her place Some London escort agencies even cater for transportation of escort girls. This means you do not have to add extra fees for ferrying the girls to your place.
There is a less recommended option. You can choose to hire escort services from street agencies. This unlike the online agencies has many risks. Some girls are not of age, therefore getting you into trouble. Though the girls are not as professional as those offered online. All in all, they will still satisfy your sexual needs without a doubt. They know how to satisfy a man and not at one time will they let anyone know of your discreet affair.
There is no doubt many ways to get an escort. The High class escort services are as many as the expensive ones. By now you must also understand that adding a few coins doesn't guarantee better service. After all they are the same girls in the trade. If you however want some VIP treatment , feel free to pay higher fees. The girls know exactly where to hit and when they do, you will be left wanting more. They are good at what they do, the choice is yours to make.

What to CookAmanda & Merrill
Olive Oil Gelato
- Amanda
The apotheosis of Mario Batali's cooking and the Mediterranean diet is, in my dessert-loving view, the olive oil gelato at Otto. It's as smooth as aioli, pulsing with green olive flavor, and has sugar and salt dueling in the background.
Batali published a recipe for it in Molto Gusto -- it can be found on Serious Eats. The recipe, though good sounding, seemed like it would produce something richer and sweeter than I remember. As I fumbled through my cookbooks, I came across another version in Ice Creams, Sorbets & Gelati by Robin and Caroline Weir.
The Weirs are the foremost authorities on frozen desserts, and this book is the culmination of all of their research. And yet, I was also skeptical of their recipe, which calls for water in the custard, no cream or salt, and a whole lot of olive oil.
I was wrong about the custard -- it makes for a lovely thin yellow sauce (I did add a large pinch of salt). After chilling it overnight I whisked in olive oil to taste. The custard drank the oil like a good, dense mayonnaise, getting thicker and smoother with each stroke of the whisk. But after 6 tablespoons of oil -- the Weirs call for 12 -- I called it quits, and churned the gelato as is.
When something is good, you don't always want to share it. But you'll know when something you've made is really great, because you want everyone you know to taste it. Want to come by?
Olive Oil Gelato
Adapted from Ice Creams, Sorbets & Gelati by Robin Weir and Caroline Weir
Serves 2 to 4 (you can double the recipe if you want more)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- Large pinch salt
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons good olive oil (preferably Arbequina; I used Frantoia Barbera)

Luke Feldner, senior forensic accounting major
Assurance intern at Ernst & Young in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Most hours of an accounting internship are spent behind a desk, possibly within a cubicle, in an office completing various tasks. However, Luke Feldner's internship at Ernst & Young in Pittsburgh, Pa., allowed him to gain experience outside of the office as well by traveling to the "happiest place on Earth": Walt Disney World.
Feldner traveled to Orlando, Fla., to attend the International Intern Leadership Conference that Ernst & Young hosts annually for its interns around the world. During the weeklong conference, Feldner listened to speakers and attended workshops where he gained invaluable knowledge as an accounting pre-professional.
In Pittsburgh, where he spent the majority of his internship, Feldner was assigned to audit teams for various corporate clients. He traveled with Ernst & Young employees to the clients' headquarters to review their public financial statements for accuracy and reasonableness in accordance with a year-end audit. Some of the clients Feldner worked with include: American Eagle Outfitters, Inc., Rice Energy, Inc., Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies (Wabtec) and Westinghouse Electric Company.
Feldner says that his internship "exceeded his expectations." He acknowledges God, his classes and co-curricular activities at Waynesburg University for his rewarding time as an intern.
"I felt prepared to work with audit teams due to the team aspect of the cross country and track and field teams I am a member of, as well as the knowledge I learned in the classroom," said Feldner. "God granted me the opportunity to take a tremendous leap of faith. Through it, God never let me fall."

Obama Responds to Gates Memoir
President Says Part of His Job Is to 'Sweat the Details'
WASHINGTON–President Barack Obama, responding personally for the first time to a stinging critique delivered by former Defense Secretary Robert Gates in a new memoir, said he did question his strategy for the war in Afghanistan.
"Part of your job as commander in chief is to sweat the details," Mr. Obama said when asked whether he'd lost faith in his war strategy in Afghanistan, a direct criticism in Mr. Gates's new memoir "Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War." Mr. Gates wrote that the president lost faith...

Heavenly Apple Cake
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Though not even approaching being eligible for a beauty contest, this cake seems to be irresistible. It stays fresh and gooey for days (that is if there's any left) and it's really very simple. The recipe originated in a community cookbook that I used regularly for years. The cake was always delicious but, over the years I've changed things--NO nuts--raisins--raisins soaked in Rum--but now I've settled on adding dates soaked in Apple Brandy (or Calvados if you're feeling flush!) Sometimes I substitute brown sugar for half the white sugar. As I say, NOT pretty, but well worth it. —Veronica
Serves: 12 to 16
1/2 to 3/4
cups chopped dates
1/2 to 3/4
cups apple brandy (or Calvados)
cups unbleached, all purpose flour
cups white sugar
teaspoons baking soda
teaspoon ground cinnamon
teaspoon ground nutmeg
teaspoon salt
cups slightly tart apples: peeled, cored and roughly chopped
cup melted sweet butter
eggs, lightly beaten
Icing sugar for decoration
- About one hour before starting to bake, place the dates in a small bowl and cover with the apple brandy. Stir from time to time and if they get too "tight", just add more brandy!
- Preheat oven to 325. Using butter, grease a baking pan (approximately 13 x 9 x 2)
- Into a large bowl sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
- Add the chopped apples, dates, melted butter and the eggs. This will be a very heavy, thick batter but don't worry -- just be sure to mix it well.
- Spread in the prepared pan, place on a rack in center of the oven and bake for 1 hour. Test with a skewer -- if it comes out still a bit gooey, bake for another 5 to 10 minutes. You'll know when it's done. It will be a nice dark tan color and will spring back to a light touch.
- Remove from oven, let cool a bit. This is delicious hot, warm or cold. As I mentioned, this cake isn't a beauty queen so should be plated in the kitchen! I sprinkle each serving with icing sugar.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

He took his name from a 13th century saint who gave up his wealth and threw in his lot with the poor. As cardinal in Argentina, he eschewed the trappings of power and privilege, taking public transportation and even cooking his own meals.
Unlike his predecessors, the newly elected pope, Francis I, hails from a part of the world that in recent years has struggled with poverty and financial turmoil, and his writings and public comments make clear his sympathies lie with the world's desperate and destitute. In the process, he has sometimes cast a suspicious eye on the institutions of capitalism, once branding the International Monetary Fund's debt policies "immoral."
And yet anyone who expects the new pope to usher in a period of liberal activism by the Catholic Church on economic matters will probably be disappointed.
Church's Views On Economy Issues
Even as the former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio was blasting "the tyranny of the markets" and lamenting wealth inequality, he was standing firm against the spread of liberation theology — the leftist economic movement that swept the church in the 1970s and 1980s.
"He's not afraid to duke it out with either the right or the left, inasmuch as neither system really delivers any authentic notion of liberation," says Michael Sean Winters, who writes a blog for the National Catholic Reporter.
In the United States and the West in general, the church is often seen through the prism of social issues, like abortion, contraception and gay marriage. More recently, the abuse scandals have dominated coverage of the church. But in poorer parts of the world like Latin America, such matters take a back seat to concerns about poverty and development, Winters says. On issues like these, the church has taken positions that would sound positively left-wing coming from a U.S. politician, Winters says.
In his World Day of Peace message this year, Pope Benedict identified the biggest threats to world peace as terrorism, international crime and "unregulated financial markets," Winters notes.
"If Barack Obama had lumped together unregulated financial markets with terrorism in the same sentence, Fox News would have talked about nothing else for a month," he says.
The church's views are not a rejection of capitalism or market economies, says Steve Schneck, director of the Institute for Policy Research in Catholic Studies at Catholic University in Washington.
"But there is with it a suspicion that Adam Smith's invisible hands need to be guided by a moral heart if we're to have justice," he says.
'Advocating For Just, Fair Economic Solutions'
Pope Francis served as cardinal at a time when Argentina faced a severe debt crisis that would ultimately lead it to default on its bonds. At the time, Pope John Paul II was calling on rich countries to forgive the debt of poor ones, and Argentine bishops sometimes made strident comments about the economic carnage they were witnessing.
"For them, there was something immoral in the international economic system that allows these kinds of gross inequities of wealth to exist," Schneck says.
"That has always been his role, advocating for just, fair economic solutions so the most needy be benefited," says Mario Paredes, director of Catholic Ministries of the American Bible Society. "In a country that [is] so rich, like Argentina, to find those pockets of poverty it is unexplainable. And he is fully aware of that, and that is the reason he has spent all these years visiting the slums of Buenos Aires, because the poverty there is rampant."
But these remarks came at a time when the former Cardinal Bergoglio was also acting as a bulwark against the spread of liberation theology, which was embraced by many clerics in other parts of Latin America.
Bergoglio saw the movement as tainted by Marxism, something he felt was fundamentally at odds with church teaching, says Samuel Gregg, research director of the Acton Institute.
Not An 'Economic Liberal'
To Bergoglio and the church, any economic doctrine that views human beings as consumers and producers "loses sight of the transcendent purpose of human life," Schneck says.
"I think that for Pope Francis that narrow understanding of the human person is in many ways similar to the narrow understanding of the human person that he sees at the heart of modern economic systems generally," he says. "So from our perspective, he would look like an economic liberal, but he's certainly no Marxist by any stretch of the imagination."
Bergoglio also feared that too much involvement with liberation theology would politicize the church, Gregg says.
"Once you take sides in a very political way, the church's ability to act as a mediating institution is automatically diminished," he says.
The church has long stressed the importance of helping the poor; it has traditionally allowed for a wide range of opinions about the best way to do that, Gregg says. For that reason, he expects the new pope to maintain a certain critical distance from political debates.
"When it comes to the economy, the focus is much more upon articulating the principles of Catholic social teaching of Catholic ethics, rather than proposing detailed five-point plans for dealing with concrete situations, because, frankly, that's the role of lay people rather than the clergy," Gregg says.
Schneck expects Pope Francis to serve as "a moral cheerleader on economic issues," just like his predecessors. But with his background in Latin America, Francis is likely to give the issue a special emphasis, he says.
"Of course, Pope Francis is going to value what the markets can do," Schneck says. "But there is a critical gleam in his eye when he looks at market forces that we didn't see in John Paul II."
Pope Francis comes from Argentina, where poverty and debt have long posed serious challenges. In the past, when thrust into debates about the country's economic future, Francis had made strident comments about wealth, inequality and the markets.
Now, some Catholics are hoping their new pope will play a similar role, giving voice to the poor and exerting influence on a global scale. But as NPR's Jim Zarroli reports, others say the idea that Pope Francis is some kind of economic liberal is to misread him and the church.
JIM ZARROLI, BYLINE: Americans and Westerners in general tend to see the Catholic Church through the prism of social issues such as abortion and gay marriage. But Michael Sean Winters, who writes a blog for the National Catholic Reporter, says the current pope comes from a part of the world where those concerns take a backseat to poverty and wealth inequality.
MICHAEL SEAN WINTERS: You know, if half your flock is going to bed hungry, you really shouldn't be worried about the kind of gender politics that we get excited about here in the United States. You should be focusing on how you can help your people.
ZARROLI: Compared to his predecessor, Pope Francis has written little, but he has sometimes made strong public comments on economic issues. During the Argentine debt crisis in 2001, he called the International Monetary Fund's debt policies immoral. He has bemoaned the negative effects of globalization and what he calls the tyranny of the markets. Steve Schneck is director of the Institute for Policy Research in Catholic Studies at Catholic University.
DR. STEPHEN SCHNECK: One of the things that Pope Francis has talked about at length as fundamentally immoral is just the huge gulf that exists between the rich and the poor in the world. In his estimation, that gulf itself reflects some kind of immorality at the core of the structures of our economies.
ZARROLI: Schneck points out that these views aren't really different from his predecessors and simply reflect Catholic teaching.
SCHNECK: It's not a rejection of the market. It's not a rejection of capitalism, but there is with it a suspicion that, you know, Adam Smith's invisible hands need to be guided by a moral heart if we're going to have justice.
ZARROLI: The new pope may be in a better position to promote those values because he has actually lived them, says Michael Sean Winters.
WINTERS: Pope Francis has the capability to have a more immediate effect because of the way he carries himself, because of the way he interacts with a crowd, because of the way he speaks, and because of his awareness of the importance of his personal example.
ZARROLI: But anyone who expects Francis to take an active role as a critic of capitalism is sure to be disappointed, says Samuel Gregg, research director of the Acton Institute. Gregg says even as the new pope was criticizing the IMF, he was also taking a stand against liberation theology, the leftist movement that swept some parts of the church in the 1970s and '80s. Gregg says Francis saw the movement as tainted by Marxist ideas that were at odds with church teaching and he didn't want the church in Argentina to become politicized.
SAMUEL GREGG: Liberation theology, at least certain strands of liberation theology, insisted that the church had to become involved in more or less revolutionary movements for justice. And his response was no, that is not the responsibility of priests. Priests are supposed to be pastors. They're supposed to be guides. They're supposed to offer the sacraments. They're not politicians. They're not revolutionaries.
ZARROLI: Gregg says the church stresses the importance of helping the poor, but it has traditionally allowed for a pretty wide range of opinions about the best way to do that. And he expects Francis to maintain a certain critical distance from political debates.
GREGG: When it comes to the economy, the focus is much more upon articulating the principles of Catholic social teaching, of Catholic ethics, rather than proposing detailed five-point plans for dealing with concrete situations because, frankly, that's the role of laypeople rather than the clergy.
ZARROLI: But there is also no question that the new pope understands issues of poverty and development in a much more direct way than his predecessors. That could affect the emphasis, if not the essence, of church teachings. Jim Zarroli, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

When I first got my Android phone, my "making a call" scenario would play out the same. I would pick up the phone, make my call, then grumble in annoyance as my phone lamely went to the Call Log. Yes phone, I know that my last call was to my wife, but thank you for showing me information I already knew, since I JUST HUNG UP.
I realize that it's really just one click, but never in the usage of any phone have I wanted to see a log of a call right after I made it. Many comments in the market also elude to users accidentally dialing people as a result of stray finger movements while undesirably in the Call Log.
Enter one of the most magic and sadly necessary little apps: Not Call Log. Not Call Log does one thing, and it does it well. It "hijacks" the default behavior of Android, and lets YOU decide where you want to go when a call hangs up. After installing the app, you select it from your app drawer, and it will present you with a list of available locations your phone can go. Although I personally chose "Home", you have the ability to pick other actions such as the dialer or a specific app. To handle some slower phones, the selector window also gives the user a "delay" slider to allow the phone to finish the call before Not Call Log attempts to go to your chosen location.
Suddenly, your phone will behave as you want it to. Or as one commenter says in the market reviews:
"Finally! I don't need to throw my phone at a brick wall! Thank you!" -Ty (Market comments)
A little intense Ty, but well said.

"The ghetto has become the hallmark of our major cities just as truly as the cities themselves are becoming the hallmark of the nation." Though the last thirty years has seen advancements in legislation, what remains unrecognized is the gap between legislation intent and the actualization of community programs that have tangible affects on the neighborhoods. The Negro is commonly displaced to make room for housing and expansion of traditional white areas. The civil rights movement comes to Chicago supporting efforts to educate and protest these struggles.

There are many sources of support that can help you. But there are also things you can do yourself to feel better.
It's important to look after yourself. If you're finding it difficult to manage your feelings, it can help to take things one day at a time and not look too far ahead. You may find that life gets easier to cope with as time passes.
Doing even the smallest tasks may help you feel better:
- Try to eat well every day. (If you have eating problems or a poor appetite, talk to your doctor or nurse.)
- If you can, get up and dressed every day.
- If you feel unwell, get some extra rest and don't delay seeing your doctor.
- Accept offers of help, or turn to other people for help.
- Keep to a regular sleeping pattern if you can.
- Try to exercise regularly – it can help you relax, boost your energy and help you sleep.
- Try to share your feelings.
- Try to keep your social life active by staying in contact with your family and friends.
- Recognise when you're feeling run down and stressed.
- For example, you may have headaches, trouble sleeping, tummy problems, or colds that don't go away. If you feel like this, see your doctor for advice.
- Try to find some time just for yourself every day when you can fully relax. But try not to sit still in one place for long periods of time. It can help to make your environment as comfortable as possible, perhaps with a comfy chair and plenty of light and fresh air. Listening to music or radio programmes may also help.
- If you can, try to make plans to do things you enjoy. You could book things a few weeks ahead, as this will give you something to look forward to.
- Some people find they lose motivation and begin to limit the amount of things they do. This can add to the feeling of being alone, so try to give yourself goals to achieve.

I was photographing this rocky area along one of the beaches at Kalbarri, a town in North West, Western Australia.
While shooting a long exposure, a few 4×4′s were driving nearby and had their spotlights on which lit up the area just before I decided to finish the exposure. I thought my photo was ruined, but the spotlights have helped to enhance the photo by lighting up the rocks and the cliff, and combined with the long exposure which has blurred the movement of the clouds, I ended up getting this shot which ended up being the best one from the few exposures I photographed.

Despite a five-year career at Florida, Frankie Hammond Jr.'s highlight reel isn't long.
Despite a five-year career at Florida, Frankie Hammond Jr.'s highlight reel isn't long.
A couple of dynamic, game-changing plays against Tennessee and Bowling Green earlier this year are his only lasting impressions as his final game as a Gator approaches. He willingly points out that he hasn't piled up many stats or broken any records.
But Hammond doesn't say those things with his head down. That's because Hammond had the luxury of playing alongside several other UF receivers with similar resumes who nonetheless made a career for themselves in the NFL.
"A guy like Deonte (Thompson), when he was here, his stats weren't 1,000 yards receiving and a whole bunch of catches, but he went about things the right way, and when the opportunities came he took advantage of them," said Hammond, who graduated with a degree in telecommunication this fall. "When he got to the next level, he just made the best of it and he made an NFL roster, so it's just all about staying positive. You do everything right and in return, you'll get paid back. That's how I look at it, and I just keep working and hope for the best."
Thompson (Baltimore Ravens), Louis Murphy (Oakland Raiders), Riley Cooper (Philadelphia Eagles) and David Nelson (Buffalo Bills) are other unheralded Gator receivers during Hammond's time who have found a place in the pros.
Offensive coordinator Brent Pease points out Hammond is coachable, a quality he shares with that group that gives him a chance to follow in their footsteps.
"Frankie's a solid kid, works hard, smart, he understands things, and I respect the work he's put in," said Pease, who also praised Hammond's leadership as the lone senior receiver. "I respect the opportunity that he's taken advantage of in playing this year and making some big plays for us. You can use him as a kid that you can put out there, coach him up once, and he's going to understand how you want it done."
Hammond's season hasn't gone as planned, and the same can be said about the rest of the receivers. However, Pease and quarterback Jeff Driskel see extra motivation during bowl practices from the unit before it faces the Big East's top pass defense in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 2.
Fresh off of what they accomplished against the nation's top defense, Hammond and the rest of the much-maligned receiving corps have found some confidence.
"We just executed," Hammond said. "At the end of the day, guys made plays when they arrived and took advantage of the opportunities, whereas before, we probably didn't take the opportunity and they'd come through with the plays. But FSU we were locked in and we executed."

Mike Ensley writes from his home in Orlando.
Fearing the male sex drive has damaged a lot of lives.
You don't just lose a job when you lose a job. No matter what the truth is, it can still feel like you're worthless. And that matters enough.
Once we are real, we are called to really relate. And that's what it means to be righteous.
If the Beatitudes list the qualities Jesus finds most important, then I ought to ponder and pray about them.
I know I'm a Christian, but am I Christian enough?
The Son of God did not become man, die, and rise again so that we could walk a tightrope over hell.
In that moment I wasn't missing God; I was missing the other pieces.
Yes, you can relate to their struggles.
Our ability to redeem the sexual generation will lie in our willingness to live and love with the same kind of daring Jesus did.
I've always felt funny whenever I hear somebody begin a sentence with those words. It sounds so resolute, so certain.
Sometimes it takes a dog to show us that the fruit of discipline is liberty.

Noël Wells, John Milhiser Out at SNL
Tough year for rookies.
Noël Wells and John Milhiser will not be returning to Saturday Night Live next season, according to Deadline. They join the also-cut Brooks Wheelan, who announced his exit yesterday. Milhiser and Wheelan were both largely absent from the second half of this past season, and Wells wasn't that much more of a presence. Fellow rookies Kyle Mooney, Beck Bennett, and Sasheer Zamata are shoo-ins for next year, but still to be determined is the exact fate of Mike O'Brien. Also TBD is the exact fate of humanity.
